The lower-order runs in Test cricket are extremely crucial for the batting sides, especially when the team finds itself in a spot of bother due to the middle-order collapses.
Through the years, we have seen many bowlers stepping up to the occasion and adding these runs to take their teams in promising positions and making the opposition captains think out of the box.
Similarly, during the second Test of West Indies' tour of India in Delhi, the fast bowling duo of Justin Greaves (50*) and Jayden Seales (32) caused trouble for India with a stand of 79 runs in 133 deliveries before the latter was dismissed while attacking Jasprit Bumrah.
Here's a list of the best 10th wicket partnerships in Test cricket.
